Five Fall Favorites Day 4

6:00 AM

Awww, there is something about the fall air that begs us to get out of doors. How fitting that we are talking about bikes and missionaries today. After all, many missionaries use bikes to get around in some third world countries. I am thinking about some missionaries we support. They work to translate the Bible into some of the many languages of Africa. I have seen the pictures of local pastor, strapping the new bibles to the back of their bikes to take them to their home village. Missionaries are so inspiring. Here are a few of my favorites.

I read almost excursively non-fiction until I was fourteen. Gladys Aylward was an early favorite of mine. I loved her heart for children and I was amazed at the favor God granted her with the authorities in China.

Rose and I read Amy's biography together when were in our early teens. I picked this book up last year and loved it. Amy's whole-hearted devotion to God is inspiring. Her love for the people of India was beautiful.

Tales of African missionaries have captured my attention for years, starting with this one. David Livingstone was man of passion, adventure, and faith. He fired my imagination. I still have a special place in my heart for him.

I've read biographies of all of those missionaries. And "A Chance to Die" was so good! Oh, and Gladys Aylward has always been a favorite of mine. I don't know how many different biographies and stories I've read or listened to about her. :) This is a great list!

Oh, yes! I have a whole set of Christian missionary books I found at a yard sale that I'm going to read soon! Some of the people you mentioned are in it! Did you know Brother Andrew has a great book called, "God's Smuggler"? I'm about to read it for school!

A favorite missionary type book I love is "Kisses from Katie" by Katie Davis! And the sequel, "Daring to Hope" came out 2 days ago and I'm reading it and loving it! Definitely something to check out! I actually feel called by the Lord to be a missionary to Uganda (where the two books I mentioned are based) so I am trusting Him to take me there in the future! :D

Ah... I recognized those "Heroes of the Faith" books from the very top glimpse of the covers. ;) We have the entire series. Have you read Samuel Morris??? I loved that one. Though Eric Liddell was a good one too!

While not the best formatted ebook, not an exhaustive history, I really enjoyed this little book. It was a bit of history, with lots of pictures and interesting facts. I look forward to reading more in this series.

I am not going to be to harsh in this review because I didn't finish the book. I got to the chapter of bigotry and I deleted it from my Kindle? Simply put, I think that the author was unbiblical in much of what he said. The book felt lik...
